AL CENTRAL

[Jimbo]

Tigers need to come out and play well and score some runs for Jackson today ....
Winning 3 straight from them would be great, don't know if they have ever done that before ..... Chi Sox always give the Tigers such a hard time .... every year.

btw, game time I think was changed to the 4PM game of the week for Saturday.

Ugh! We're into the 6th inning and only managed 3 hits so far.

Incase you haven't noticed, that is quite typical of them when in games they tend to NOT win .

Hopefully they can get something going here quickly.

The Offense still sucks..If they think Guillen is the answer then they may as well just become sellers.

Granderson doubles with 2-out in the ninth to tie the game. Going into extra innings. Go Tigers!

I don't think they think Guillen is the answer, but he is a reliable professional hitter, him being in the line up has to help things.

They still need a few more bats.
As well as a closer.

Guillen comes thru and Tigers pull this one out in the 10th

Great Win!

Guillen sure looks like the answer so far. I get the feeling that in a month or so we'll look up and everyone will be talking about how the Tigers are something like 19-6 since Guillen's return and how his return was a turning point. I expect him to hit. And I expect it to be contagious.

I'm nothing if not an optimist.

I like your thinking

Does he stay healthy is the question..

We'll see, he's had half the year off, if they DH him for the most part, I think that helps the staying healthy part, at least you would hope.

Well his MO is injury prone..He isn't 100% now I hope that does not come back to haunt us..

I've seen that happen before. Good hitting is contagious! So is the great pitching we have had all season!. One game to go, for the sweep. In September, I hope we're looking back at this series as the springboard to the Central title.

It's a baseball day today...at the Nats-Padres right now and get to see the Tigers versus White Sox on ESPN this evening.

This is Huge for the Dodgers, and means they are serious contenders for the title if they pull this off. I would like to see all players in this deal, Loney is a nice nice player, but there has to be more to it then this.

Whiteox will win tonights game I predict.

Nice prediction, what was the score when you posted ?

 

[Jimbo]

I was going to post earlier that the Tigers generally don't play well when they are the only game going (National TV), but then they won yesterday so that kinda screwed up that theory .....

That still stands, Yesterday was not that impressive..

ON another Note, Inge needs to sit, and we need to bring someone else in that will allow that..He cannot swing, and now he is swinging at everything. He looks like the Brandon of old, and he still cannot lay off the high heat..If pitched to him he woujld never see a fast ball in the zone..Hell just throw im curves in the dirt he likes those too.
